Embracing Femininity and Makeup

Navigating Phases of Tomboyhood
We discussed our experiences with phases of tomboyhood and the pressures to fit into particular gender norms.

Over time, we realized the importance of embracing our unique identities and finding a balance between our interests and the notion of femininity. We learned to celebrate our own versions of femininity.
Supporting and Celebrating Other Girls
Being 'girls' girls' means supporting and celebrating other girls. We value the idea of lifting each other up instead of tearing one another down. We recognize the negative behaviors of trying to appear differently around guys or deliberately making others look bad. Instead, we aim to create a safe and empowering environment where we genuinely support and look out for one another.

There are unique moments and experiences that can be attributed to girlhood. From getting ready for events together to helping each other with makeup, clothes, or unraveling tangled jewelry, these moments exude a sense of camaraderie and girl code.

However, we've come to appreciate our unique paths and individual growth. We've learned to accept and celebrate our differences, recognizing that there is no one-size-fits-all definition of being feminine. We continue to navigate and embrace our own versions of femininity.
